Standard disclaimer: Leave your loathing of meta, World of Warcraft, or community diaries outside. If you think we should be playing your MMO instead, start a guild and write a recruitment diary. Don't leave a comment here and then get all hurtful when it isn't received with flowers and candy. This goes double for people coming in to attack guildies over other diaries or comments - STAY OUT! Link to your recruitment diary is OK though.
Standard advertisement: Wreck List is the Daily Kos World of Warcraft guild. We are Horde-side on the Garrosh server. To join, read this diary ,visit the Guild web site, roll up a character on Garrosh and when you log in type
/who wreck list
and contact (via in-game mail or /whisper) any of our members - who can direct you to someone with /ginvite privileges and get you a guild invite. Yes, you have to be Horde. No, you don't have to be hardcore - casuals, PvPers, and people that just want to hang out on guild chat are all welcome.
More below the fold:
I didn't want to do a stereotypical "year-in-review" diary (for one thing, I'd have to make the effort to go back through all the year's weeklies) but this is the last diary of 2011, so we should acknowledge that.
Remember, we have Naked Ahn'Qiraj on New Year's Eve. I think it's 10 pm server, but don't quote me. Here's more info on the guild forums.
Also, Yuki's Awesomeness Pageant deadline is January 8th at 11:59 PM. More info here.
Let me know in comments if there are any other year-endish events planned.
